So far, I've been eating it straight, and have chopped it up for fried rice. I'm afraid if I keep doing it the same way, I'll get sick of it. What other recipes/preparations would suit this ingredient? Thanks! Wed Feb 14 12:09:57 -0800 2007 12912 sasha1 1 2293762 I love using it to make fried rice too! Also good w/scrambled eggs. ;) Toss chopped up bbq pork in a pan w/a little oil, heat it up, add beaten eggs, add some green onion, salt, scramble it up until the eggs are done and enjoy!

I usually use it for fried rice and to make glutinous rice. Wed Feb 14 21:10:31 -0800 2007 2293762 64454 kcchan 1 2293765 In soups and with stir-fried greens.

Also use to flavor such things as sticky rice in lotus leaves, or soup, or in Vietnamese spring rolls.

I make this with sliced char siu (about a cup), sliced lop cheong (Chinese sausage, about 1 link), about 2 cups of good vegetables - bok choy, choy sum, gai lan - sometimes a little tofu or bamboo shoots. Stir-fry the vegetables over high heat, remove from pan. Add cooked noodles to pan - I prefer the thicker noodles for this, udon or Shanghai noodles - toss to heat with some oil. Add vegetables and other ingredients. Add about 1 Tbs thick soy, 1 Tbs sesame oil and toss over high heat to distribute evenly. It makes a slightly sweet mein. The soy caramelizes and gives everything a nice smoky flavor. I also use char siu in char siu bao which I make in fairly big batches. They freeze well.

I cook the noodles (cheap and fried or spendy and lower fat are both fine) in chicken broth (without the scary "seasoning" packet), add a dash of soy sauce and sesame oil, and top with sliced char siu and a handful of baby spinach (which wilts in the hot broth) and it's dinner in 5 minutes.
